XBA says: The four year wait for Biomutant is over and has been absolutely worth it.
Biomutant has finally arrived on Switch! Dive into a world of cute mutants and monster-bashing combat. Find out what we thought about it!
This game could have been huge, but sadly it fails big time at just being a lot o fun to play... Which is what it should be because that's how it looks when you first hear about the game.
-But at every turn they fail at fun to play.. What do I mean? Glad you asked -(remember Mario from Nintendo, any Mario, the first time you played it, there was one thing really clear right off the back) -It's super fun to play... Period, no matter what your doing it's fun.
Bungie once said the secret to good game design is take something that is really fun about the game, and extending it to all over the game.
Biomutant could have hit that bar with very little effort. The game has so much going for it. In my opinion the only thing they needed to nail was how it plays / and that's where it fails the most. This is a game that could have sold 23 million copies and instead did 1 million...
Biomutant received a surprise release by THQ Nordic on the Nintendo Switch and while it has various compromises to run on Nintendo’s now aging Switch hardware, it is still good fun.
Good for them, I miss games like this is, was rough at some points but by now I feel it must have got better. Maybe I'm just a sucker for fuzzy things like Ratchet and Clank, and the old Conker and Jak/Dax games. Don't know, just reminds me of those times.
After launching three years ago in a relatively disappointing state, how does Experiment 101's open-world action title hold up?
I played it on the PS5 in 40fps mode and it was pretty decent. Looked great, gameplay was a little but clunky at time, and fairly repetitive, but there's a large map to explore, LOADS of things to do, and you're a gun-toting, kung-fu'ing racoon !!
Accept the game for what it is, and you'll have a good time like I did.
Can't speak for how it was at launch, but the game I played was a 7.5/10
I would like to see this game get a sequel with all the lessons learnt from the rocky launch and with newer tech.
I finished this not too long ago, definitely one of my most favorites I was really in tune with it, I didn't silence the narrator cause it always felt like I was being told a story, lol just like real life I enjoy old people telling me stories every since I was a kid I've always enjoyed that, biomutant 2 would be so mf nice to happen, definitely going for a 2nd playthrough on ps5 this time around
Seems like a very polarising game, will hold off for now.
That review is long winded to say the least. However I am willing to give it a try and see what the hubbub is about
Getting universally panned but I suppose when you're starved of games any old crap would seem fun.
Don't forget, plays best on xbox 🤣🤣🤣 63 on metacritic xbox best game yet
I bet some xbox focused sites gonna give high scores just because of the 4k vs 1080p thing.
There's also a chance for the inverse, playstation sites giving low scores fo similar reason.
